Thinking of buying a used PSP as an emulator machine, since they are so damn cheap. Any idea if ALL firmware versions can be hacked now that Sony stopped updating it? also would be nice if I can now turn it off without having to hack it again.

Not 100% sure but i think all versions can be hacked. I remember that the 3000 and Go series where untouchable for a while but now i see people gettin them soft modded.

If it's a 1000/2000/3000 the answer is yes. I sent you a link in a PM because I don't know how mods feel about this sort of stuff.

One of the devs of Elysian Shadows wrote the perfect response to the accusation of racism in Witcher 3. Very much worth a read.
To people from multiracial countries, demanding racial diversity in video game might seem like something good, a progressive thing. However the game is not just any game, it’s Witcher. Game made in country which battled through history to maintain it’s own heritage and language, game which builds upon slavic mythology and promotes it internationally. You're trying to shoehorn foreign elements into their culture, enforce your own standards onto theirs. In case I haven't hammered my point down strongly enough: you have people of a minority culture that were persecuted and discriminated against in last 250 years, who made this awesome work of art that represents them, and you're telling them to change it because it's not American enough.
*Bolded segment is not my addition.

Seemed like that became a thing after RE5 came out. I'm pretty sensitive to that kind of thing, and at the time even I was like "Well it takes place in Africa. Isn't there....a lot of......nevermind someone's going to freak out if I say anything."

There's not a lot of black (or white) people in Persona 4 either. Must be racist.

I got excited, and then remembered the Megaman Anniversary collection, which has all 8 original games.
